COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe St. Bernardus Abt 12 is the pride of our stable, the nec plus ultra of our brewery. Abbey ale brewed in the classic ’Quadrupel’ style of Belgium’s best Abbey Ales. Dark with a full, ivory-colored head. It has a fruity aroma, full of complex flavours and excels because of its long bittersweet finish with a hoppy bite. Worldwide seen as one of the best beers in the world. It’s a very balanced beer, with a full-bodied taste and a perfect equilibrium between malty, bitter, and sweet. One of the original recipes from the days of license-brewing for the Trappist monks of Westvleteren.

Fantastic brew. Perfect palate and appearance. Fantastic lacing that never disappears. Clear amber brew with no cloudiness. The taste is raisons plums, apricots, and honey. This is one of the best brews I have tasted. Stong and pleasant to the palate to the nose with an essential finish that you can only receive in the 12. Wow.

Bottle. Brown in colour with creme head. Aroma of malt, caramel, cabdi syrup, dried,fruits like raisins, plums, also hint of cherries and peach. Spicy note on the finish. In taste sweet, caramelly with dried fruits. Full bodied, dry finish with hoppy bitterness. World class quad, must drink for everyone.

Small bottle. Medium bodied, creamy. Huge head. Full of strong aromas - plum, raisins, caramel, bread, yeast. Sweet, with gentle bitter finish. Average carbonation which softly bites tongue. Perfect in every sip. One of the most memorable beers to which, due to availability, I like do come back.
